Is this a seizure medication? I was just curious because that seems to be very common among them. As far as what you can do you have a few options.
1. continue shaving or waxing or plucking whatever u choose.
*b careful w/ this the hair can grow in thicker and coarser from these methods.
2.have lazer hair removal. (insurance could even possibly pay for it)
3. talk to ur dr. there could possibly b another medication u could use that wouldnt have this effect.
4. try a facial hair bleaching kit
Good luck!

wow that sucks but i guess it happens. maybe you can look into some kind of laser hair removal or just keep shaving or have it waxed. have you talked to your doctor about maybe a different brand of medication that doesnt have that side effect? either way dont stop taking the medication for that, life is more valueable then a little thing like this.. i hope this helps

I know someone who gets her facial hair removed through threading. She says it prevents the hair from growing back for several weeks.
In case you don't know what threading is, it is an ancient method of hair removal. It is usual done on eyebrows but there are places that do on all types of facial hair. It's very painful though.

Nair it. Use chemicals instead to dissolve the hair, it won't get so coarse that way.
Good luck, that's a tough problem to have. I hope the medication works well!

Don't shave. Try nair maybe or get electrolosis. After awhile the hair never grows back. Good luck and God bless.

My mom has the same problem. She used over the counter creams that progressively make the hair finer and thinner. I'm not sure what brand she uses. But it works pretty well.

YOU CAN USE A FACIAL DIBILLATORY CREAM, LIKE NAIR. IT WILL THIN UP THE HAIRS AND THEY WON'T COME BACK AS OFTEN.

I'd speak to a dermatologist and see what options you have, they'd be able to suggest something safe for you to do.
